President's Report - From the Driver's Seat

Our November meeting was held on the 26th. We are looking for someone who can take over managing the newsletter. Anyone interested please reach out to Kim Olan, or any of the Executive Committee members. The committee for the 60th Anniversary Gala is moving forward with plans for the Gala. The Christmas Party was held at the Burgundy Basin on December 15th, and there was a great turn out. Over 210 people attended, and the Basin staff did an excellent job, and everyone appeared to have a great time.

In my last official duties as President, I presented the Executive Committee with a token of my appreciation for a job well done and thanked them for their support and guidance this year. I especially wanted to thank my vice President, Steve Popple, for all his efforts and support this year. Working a fulltime job didn’t allow me the time I would have liked to invest in this role, and he picked up a lot of slack and kept me focused. His friendship and support were greatly appreciated.

The Committee Chairs were also presented tokens of appreciation, and it’s with sincere apologies that Carmella Gallinat was omitted from the presentation. It was an oversight on my part and I regret that oversight. It was a pleasure to present Don Andrews the 2018 Gene LeDoux Award for dedication to the Club. He is a very worthy recipient and represents the club admirably.

David Norton and Harry Claus presented the Club’s Charity donation check to the Challenger Miracle Field administration, in the amount of $10,100. Great work by both Harry and David this year in raising the money they did!

It was an honor to present a gift to our wonderful sponsor, Kitty Van Bortel, who’s dedication and support of the club is beyond words.
It has truly been an honor and privilege to have served as Club President in 2018, and it is a memory I will cherish for a long time. Many thanks to all who helped make this a great year!Sincerely,
